Avantium

Avantium is a leading company in chemical technology and a forerunner in renewable chemistry. Together with its partners around the world, Avantium develops efficient processes and sustainable products made from bio-based materials. Avantium is a breeding ground for revolutionary renewable chemical solutions.

From invention to commercially viable production processes. One of Avantium’s numerous success stories is the YXY technology for the production of PEF: a completely new, high-quality plastic made from plant-based industrial sugars. PEF is 100% recyclable, making it a cost-effective solution to manufacture anything from a wide range of plastic bottles and packaging to fibres. YXY is the most advanced technology but Avantium is also working on a range of other pioneering projects.

The company offers advanced catalysis research services and systems designed for leading chemical and petrochemical companies. Avantium’s offices and headquarters are located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
